✭✭✭NoMakes no sense in the ESO world. Only the main people ever had capes, never the playet.1 -
Arsenic_Touch✭✭✭✭✭
✭Only if they have proper physics. Given that they have terrible hair and tail physics, I don't see them improving anything for capes. They would probably look like a board floating on your back.Edited by Arsenic_Touch on June 11, 2014 5:11PM☠ Is it better to out-monster the monster or to be quietly devoured? ☠

Catches_the_Sun✭✭✭✭✭NoThere have never been cloaks or capes in Elder Scrolls except through mods. Guild tabards are coming to serve the purpose that capes would have.Catches-the-Sun - Argonian Templar - Master Smith, Provisioner, Chemist & Tailor
Valaren Arobone - Dunmer Flamewalker - Master Woodworker, Provisioner, Assassin
Kazahad - Khajiiti Arcane Archer - Master Thief
V'orkten - Redguard Swordmaster

aipex8_ESO✭✭✭✭✭YesThe more options the better. There have been capes in previous games, just not as a separate piece (Nightingale armor for example). And even if there hadn't, who cares? Its not like its a lore issue. There weren't tabards in previous games and those are being added.1
-
ebondeath✭✭✭✭✭NoNo thank you. The only reason I would want cloaks is for RP or vanity purposes (and it would have to be optional). I'm content with the amount of gear we have to accommodate stats and have no desire to be forced to wear an unwieldy lump of cloth just to boost stats.
(My irrational hatred of cloaks probably comes from WoW).╔═════════════⌈Alannah Corvaine⌋══════════════╗

✭NoCapes in other games look like garbage. The physics are very hard to pull off. Also, see the movie "The Incredibles". It has a comedic yet awesome reason for not having one.1 -
Mortosk✭✭✭✭YesCapes with 50 magicka regeneration to supplement the broken templar class would be nice."Now I stand, the lion before the lambs and they do not fear. They can not fear." --Arthas Menethil (aka, The Lich King)0 -
Aoifesan✭✭✭NoNo. No. No. let's concentrate on fixing all the broken equipment passives and abilities first. And the art for clipping. THEN you can talk about capes, which if they aren't in now are only a disaster waiting to happen.0 -
lecarcajou_ESO✭✭✭✭NoI've never seen a game that had good-looking capes. It's always like someone glued a stiff little carpet to my toon's shoulders."Morally Decentralized."0

YesThere has never been capes in TES because cloth simulation is tricky to implement and very taxing on hardware, especially in the early console cycle of the Oblivion era. Not because it wasn't fashion standard or for lore reasons.
Capes were intended for ESO, but they probably realized that over 200 hundred people wearing them in PvP was a considerable performance hit, and pulled them off for the same reason we don't have complex armor meshes instead of lots of character model re-textures.

You can also see them in early gameplay footage.
I'm sure they'll probably implement them if/when they find out how to do it properly, even if they're rigged to the skeleton without any physics.Edited by Ralph_Damiani on June 11, 2014 5:43PM0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Don't careIn a game this buggy; with 50% of the classes severely underpowered, 2/3 of the weapons skills nearly useless, and 2/3 of the armor skills severely gimped; where it's a huge pain to find a group for anything because so few people are playing anymore, we're talking about capes?Edited by MasterSpatula on June 11, 2014 5:54PM"A probable impossibility is preferable to an improbable possibility." - Aristotle1 -
Chryos✭✭✭✭YesCapes and Cloaks. I'm a Nightblade/Ranger.If I am going to quote someone, it's going to be me.1 -
Grim13✭✭✭✭✭
✭YesYes to cloaks... BUT only if they don't clip! I hate it when things clip through my cloak... looks awful.0 -
Obscure✭✭✭✭✭YesI say yes but they need to be fully rendered client side. Havok physics engine is already in ESO and works well enough to handle basic collision, but if you have skill you can do this with the Havok engine.
...might require a substantially higher system spec to render hundreds of capes on hundreds of players in PvP all on screen at once, but hey if someone spent $4,000 on their rig by the divines they should get to use it. Just include a player range for cape rendering slider, and a setting to render capes for All, Allies only, Enemies only, Guild Members only, or simply OFF.
So come on @ZOS physics programmers, let's see what you got.0 -

✭NoI do not want Argonain or Khajiit clipping
Also, many weapons, shields and parts of armor will clip also. 1 -
BBSooner✭✭✭✭✭
✭Don't careAs long as I can turn it off I don't care. I think they look dumb, and no MMO thus far has changed my mind.1 -
Buck✭✭✭YesCheck out the ESO trailers... then this...

Clearly they thought it made the characters look cool, and yet we don't have it.

GaldorP✭✭✭✭✭NoNo capes please ><
Capes waste graphic card ressources (additional 3dmodels with textures and separate animations) on non-functional equipment.
If they are easy to get for everyone then they have no meaning and make the game look like yet another assembly of cartoon superheros (which happened in Lineage 2, for example).
If capes (or certain types of capes) are hard to get then they will either create more inequality in PvP (if the capes actually make your character stronger) or they will just be a very blunt an obvious way for people to show everyone how great they are (whether other people want to see that or not).
I think the different looks of armors (you can see the style, the basic material used, and the quality) and the titles that can be earned by completing achievements and gaining ranks in PvP are more than enough to show your character's progress.1 -
No capes, capes are for super heroes. Cloaks however...Edited by magickats242cub18_ESO on June 11, 2014 7:12PM1 -
Elirienne✭✭✭✭NoNo. No. No. No . No. No capes. Absolutely no capes.
Cloaks possibly, but only if it is a choice of outfit (ie part of light chestpiece and head set), not part of every outfit.1 -
YesI like capes and robes, maybe cloaks and coats. Some cooler looking hats would be nice too. Basically just more options.0
